Q&A: Rapids Interview with Doubtful Sounds

4 May 2011 | 1:42 pm | Staff Writer

Doubtful Sounds interview Sydney band Rapids ahead of their gig at Last Night at The Gaelic.

As easy as it is to get caught up in the hysteria of having a certain Darwin Deez come down and DJ this Friday don't forget the quality live talent we've got lined up too. Doubtful Sounds definitely didn't so they caught up with the lead singer of Rapids, Jamie Timony ahead of the gig…

Doubtful Sounds | Before last Night.....

Do any of you have any pre-gig rituals? Pre gig rituals just involve sitting down together and having a few beers and a chat. We usually leave writing our setlist until then as well. Post gig rituals can involve leaving some gear on the side of the road or at the venue and having it stolen so for all the opportunists out there, come this Friday, you might end up with a new guitar!

What do you personally bring to the sound of your band? I bring a nasally, high pitched tone and some Australian animal inspired dance moves.

In 12 months time, what do you hope to have achieved musically? First and foremost we hope to write a pile of new songs that we can be totally proud of. We hope to have recorded and released our EP by July 2011 and played some good shows both here and in the United States in the first half of next year.

If you could curate Last Night, who would be your dream line-up? Radiohead would headline with Deerhunter in support and a surprise reunion show from The Scare to get shit moving.....
